Also i do not...First i would like to make clear i am not from Trion staff or a GM in any way! I am not trying to copy or mislead anyone that i am. Also i do not want to put my account in risk of being violation of the terms set by Trion.

Now that is stated, I would like to offer a suggestion. Although, i have been advised otherwise that this will not work and will not produce any positive effect. I respectfully, suggest that having a session where new and old players can ask questions for a period of time to the GM's in live game play!

Watching the videos i got this idea and i quote from the best of my knowledge:: "Its time the player ask the questions and get the answers they been wanting for so long" - Note there might be some errors to that statement for i am recalling it from memory.

I have also noticed many responses are automated and the players tend to notice. Let us show that even GM's are able to have good humor, and doing there best to improve the game by giving a response more closely related to the question.

New Players - I have been apart of the Guide Program for Everquest and World of Warcraft ( i was not allowed to tell other players or log on my main server) - i have old emails to prove this fact! I helped answer questions and with permission from the staff set events! This helped improve the relations between the staff and players and i really enjoyed the experience! Would like to note that the staff was able to choose the players that they wanted to be in the Program and there ranks. If this was started in Archeage it might take some of the workload off the staff.

Live Session - Suggest that a Server announcement before the session, giving the location in a safe area, the time that it will begin and lasting at least for a period of 30 minutes or more depending on the GM! Note - All questions that are not related to the game-play or issues can be ignored. If necessary the GM can state: (Player Name ) :: What is your question? Limit for player questions can be set so all players can be involved. (example: 1 or 2 questions per session per player ) If possible, not during other events that are taking place at that time so all players can attend.

Also there can be 2 GM's doing different issues - (example: Game-play and Glitches/Future Related Issues/ etc) Currently, Players are able to make jury decisions about other players. This is the 1st game i have experienced that has this feature, and in my option is making this game set apart from other games. Perhaps expanding this for issues related to game-play/etc would be interesting voting system. I and not trying to state that the guidelines be adjusted or ignored, yet the player can act as jury and the GM as judge giving the final decision.

In my option, there are many reports that are currently threatening the community of the game. These reports are falsy accusing other players of actions they did not do as unnecessary pranks that make the amount of players on the server to decrease. Perhaps taking action by warning the players that though type of reports can also be a violation against the rules. Person reporting the accused can choose to appear or be contacted by whisper by the GM. I have not tried reporting other players and perhaps this feature is already in action.

Please only leave serious replys to this post below. For the good of all players and the game, i make this posting and have tried other ways before this post was created. Thank you for your time!

XL Games really need to do a rethink for the next 2 race releases.

I propose the awesome mermaid race for the East

And the West gets the octopians.

Their normal form is the aquatic versions, but they can transmorgrify into a land based humanoid (also known as, having two legs).

Perhaps, there would much more emphasis into developing naval and underwater content

My question is, where is this game heading as far as fair play is concerned? I am honestly unclear at this point on how to decide what is fair and what is not. It seems like Trion itself has no real 'standard' approach to these issues. Here are a few examples of what I mean. I assume others have more they could add, but here are the ones that leave me confused.

Cart blocking - banned. No mechanic abuse here, plenty of work arounds, and really only became a true issue when Trion handed out free 30d haulers to level 1's. We got a forever ban on cart blocking and Alt-age was born.

A long time back you could use a dead donkey to block a boat. Trion ruled this was ok to abuse. Shortly after people were using dry docks to block a boat. This one Trion ruled was not ok to use. As a player I have no idea whats different here, other than the dry docks actually cost gold to use. See the confusion to players?

A player on Kyrios streamed himself while using a mod. Permanent ban, no chance for discussion. Another player on Kyrios streamed himself using a mod. 3 day ban, overturned within 30 mins after listening to his sob story. Did anyone have a doubt that both those players were doing the same thing and yet the punishments were entirely different. What's the take home message here for players?

Dungeon bosses have historically been very exploitable. Trion said its ok to abuse them.

A guild called rage killed levi after it bugged out on them. 50 people were banned. When you consider Trion's approach to exploits before and after this event, I have no idea to this day why this required 50 people being banned and the loss of one of the competitive guilds in AA.

The enoan in other regions was being used to stun the levi, but for NA Trion deemed this unacceptable. Trion however has said its ok to abuse the ezi mechanic to bypass figurehead cooldowns so you can spam the heck out of them on the levi. Why is one of these allowed and the other not, there seems to be no logic?

You can bring an alt to the center of Abyssal and use it to channel abyssal preventing your competition from killing the guard stone and letting you only have to guard the center, thus bypassing the mechanics of the entire event. Trion has said this is ok to do.

You can buy siege scrolls with a guild and it actually gives you a red text warning that says "Can't designate a new guild leader after winning a siege" when you try and leave the guild with the scrolls. Instead of using the other legitimate options available you circumvent the costs of those options by finding a loophole in the mechanics. Trion says this is ok to do.

At this point I feel like Trion's approach to whats allowed and not allowed is either random or biased in some fashion. We have a terms of use that says you will not, under any circumstances:

Quote:

"(i) Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players;"

And yet it in reality 'under any circumstances' means 'pretty much its ok except when we randomly say otherwise' and if we are really grumpy we are going to ban you all. Some times these things are ambiguous or a grey area and a ruling by Trion is required, but those rulings should be consistent. Non-ambiguous occurrences shouldn't even be up for discussion. The game says no, then don't do it.

This is a competitive, PvP based game. Everyone playing by the same rules is important. How can we make it so we are?

Not that it desperately needs one, just curious.
o/Will this game ever get a graphical update?

You cant multibox or have more than one account / computer in archeage KR/JPN/RU, the game is not designed for that kind of play.

Multiboxing is a bad feature for archeage cause :

1) it make people have infinite labor pool and it disavantage people who cant multibox= gear gap
2) you can take advantage of scooting with infinite alt = set 1 screen divided by 8 and put on alt account on each trade post location.
3) If a new player come it's will need to multibox to catch up = less interaction less fun
ect ect
4) when other region give incentive to returning or new player like free stuff to make them progress a bit more Trion cant cause if they give that to us, all veteran with 4-5+ alt account will get that incentive reward multiple time and new or returning player one time.
5) less housing room at FS cause alt account

i still believe allow multiboxing in our region is one of the reason why it's so low populated compare to other regions.

In other hand game like Everquest are making new server with this rules :

Can trion give us the good reason why it's impossible to monitor when others games monitor it ?

Sorry for my bad english,
